Hi,  
Downloaded the Mac OSX installer ( Krita 4.4.3 Released on 24 March, 2021).  
( from [Krita Desktop | Krita](https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/) )

 ![Krita ERROR](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/9/6/96293c1a034878bfd55032700bf8977762246d7e.jpeg)

“krita.app” is damaged and can’t be  
opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I tried this mornings Build #734 (Apr 17, 2021 7:02:00 AM), Same Error.  
( from [https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita\_Nightly\_MacOS\_Build/734/](https://binary-factory.kde.org/job/Krita_Nightly_MacOS_Build/734/) )

Please advise.
